It seems everyone else thought of it as filler

It seems everyone else thought of it as filler

Yep I liked it a lot, really bummed me out when they buckled under pressure and killed him off for no good reason then replaced it with the shitty "meta" modern day stuff we have now that always just feels meaningless, dull and underdeveloped.

I miss AC1's creepy modern sections where you had to spy on abstergo. AC1 in general had a much darker, sinister tone than the rest of the games.

Reading about world going cyberpunk fuckfest was, indeed, fun as hell

I wish there was more to it than reading e-mails, though

Why did they turn him into a monkey for 3

I always found it to be key to animus parts. Sucks that they got rid of it.

The original idea for the games was way better than the garbage we got

What was the original idea? I stopped giving a toss about the series after Brotherhood

Nolan North talked about it
Basically Desmond would visit his ancestors memories for 5 games and in the sixth and final game he, now a master assassin, would be the protagonist and fight against Abstergo IRL

I liked it, but it was annoying that you only saw a small glimpse in each game. It never really connected for me since there was a year or two before you saw the next episode.

Is there a good summary somewhere?

That seemed to be where the game was going in 2, yeah. A shame.

Though to be fair, Abstergo mooks bringing no guns to raid Assassin lair and getting wrecked by a small hidden blade was retarded as fuck.

If you're talking about the end of 2, they wanted Desmond to escape. Lucy was a triple agent, a Templar all along, and she alongside whatever-his-name-was from the first fame wanted for Desmond to get to the Apple in Rome. Thats when Juno appeared, made Desmond kill Lucy amd the Templars plan went to hell

I know, but the triple-agent aspect is dumb as well. She was the one who let him escape in the first place.

I'd understand if they tried to play ALL the assassins simultanously, but nobody but Desmond ever gets brought up when it comes to plot impact. A waste, really.

NO DESMOND ITS CALLED THE ANUS

Most people just want assassin action with nothing to interrupt it.
I like how it's all connected and how the animus lets you see history the way it really happend (in-universe obviousy)
I fucked despised the ending of 3. Awaiting the ending of the modern day story is what made me endure that game at all, actually.

For what it's worth, Desmond is not yet lost. What he is experiencing right now should be what "Desond's Journey" in Revelations was like, except now he has no living body to return to anymore. Not yet.

What's next for Assassin's Creed? I enjoyed Syndicate

It was a good framing device when they kept it simple and all desmond did was solve mysteries
When he actually started doing assassin shit it became cringeworthy.

How is it more cringeworthy than his ancestors doing stuff like that?

>first time playing an AC game
>have fun playing as the pirate guy and sailing my ship
>get to the part where I sail out in to the open sea
>suddenly it goes from tropical islands to some future science lab bullshit
>some bitch telling me to look at some lamps
>this is where I uninstall

How often do you want to post that shit?

Cringeworthy? It kinda made sense with the whole bleeding effect. Sure, the Animus wouldn't make his muscles stronger but at least he would had the knowledge

>The first game he plays in the franchise is the sixth
>Expects to understand what's going on

Some of them were born into it, trained from an early age.
Others had it where their parents, grandparents, and everyone down the line was an assassin.
Desmond was a "my great great great...great great somebody related to me 500 years ago was an assassin, so PARKOUR TIME"
Knowledge means almost nothing compared to strength, dexterity, agility, and muscle memory.

Bleeding effect IS muscle memory, user

And Desmond was confirmed in 1 to be fit as fuck and trained since he was a kid until he ran away

He is pretty fit and had some assassin training as a teenager before he ran away

I don't remember any of that shit, but if that's the case I guess it makes some sense.

Yeah, he was trained as an Assassin in The Farm until his 20s. Ezio was 17 during the prologue of ACII, and he was climbing churches with his brother

AC died after 2, dont know why but the franchise was never the same, Black Flag was a great game but it had nothing to do with 1 and 2 or ac in general aside from the hoodie and blade.

>Final AC game
>Endboss has all pieces of eden combined

It was great but normies hated it. AC went straight to shit after they killed him off just because people like

"MUH HOODED KILLERS XD"
